The Lenzing Group withdraws from US Minority Holding Lenzing Fibers Corporation
"By selling off the remaining share, we have reached our objective, namely to withdraw from the US minority holding Lenzing Fibers Corporation," Thomas Fahnemann, Chairman of Lenzing AG's Board of Management, comments on the transaction. Already at year-end 2001 and in early 2002, Lenzing had transferred its majority in Lenzing Fibers Corporation.
The transaction will have no implications on Lenzing AG's result. Lenzing Fibers Corporation will henceforth carry the name "Liberty Fibers Corporation" as its company name. Whenever necessary, Lenzing will cover the American viscose fiber market with supplies from Europe or Asia.
